True dat, Su. I feel like in not bringing in kids of our own we became everybody's weird aunt/uncle or grandfather / godfather / mentor, etc. I've heard it said that it takes five and a half role models for a child to grow into a functional, loving adult. I just can't figure out how one becomes half a role model.
Wow that's a powerful personal account. I know the feeling of not wanting kids because then your life is all about the kids. But we contribute to the nurturing of the younger generation in other ways.
